Use the pen tool to draw paths for roadways and rivers. Use 4 stroke for major freeways and 2 stroke for less important roadways. Use a 2 stroke on rivers also. To make bodies of water, e.g. lakes, make paths on land layer, turn into selection, and delete to see bodies of water (layer below land layer is water layer and will show through).

Right click (Control click on Mac) on path name and select Stroke Path.

The Stroke Path dialog box comes up, and if it isn't already selected, select brush and your path will be stroked with the previously set brush size from Step 3 and the color previously selected in Step 2.

Click anywhere below the Path name to deselect the path.

Project Designation Line and Dots

Stroke the line for the project designation with a stroke of 5 with a large orange dot at the beginning and at the end of the orange line. The orange dot is included in the Project Map Photoshop file. Do not alter its size.

Cropping Final Map

When cropping the final map be sure to crop up from the bottom and be careful not to crop out part of the black border that goes around the map.

Roadway Shields

The shields are all included in the Project Map Photoshop file with the font and size of the associated number there also. Make copies of each as need (shield and number). The number font and size is set to standards and already centered within the shields. Double click on the appropriate number layer in the layers palette and it will be selected. Simply key in the new number and it will automatically center on the shield.
